food for thought;i read zhi ler's blog for the first time ever,
scrolled down to a post about having a life and it was incredibly true.
something along the lines of how ironic it is that some people play like crazy all day long (who mock other people for having no life while mugging like siao) are instead the ones that're wasting theirs away, and how everyone's got their own definitions of what life should be like.
i mean, yea,
is there anything wrong with thinking that getting a decent education is a meaningful use of your life?
really made me think again about judging others and stuff,
because i know friends who're really really hardworking academically (not just in NJ la) but i've never really thought about it that way.
that they really might be mature and responsible enough to give up their privileges,
like going out with friends more often and all that just to secure their grades and put in that extra few hours of work.
maybe its just the fact that i can't really study when i'm surrounded with other people that're that hardworking,
hahaa it's one of the things that i considered before even coming to NJ ._.
whether or not i'd even be suited to studying in such a pressurizing environment.
cos i'm the type that needs to own people before getting my head in the books,
as in i hate climbing up from the bottom to get my As.
i'd much rather own from the beginning and score relatively consistently all the way till the end,
not like how i'm struggling to get like just an average C for my subs.
and to those people who're from diff JCs,
please don't say "ohhh nvm laa, NJ's standard is different, too high. "
hahaa yea that's correct to a certain extent la, but wtf we're all still taking the A levels rite?
it can't be THAT easy to get 4 As in other JCs, its still A level curriculum.
(and dun tell me that a U in NJ chemistry translates to an A or a B in other JCs.
im pretty sure my chem sucks balls big time, LOL.)
from the beginning of J1 i already felt weird and kinda foreign being in NJ, especially when i didn't really like certain parts of the culture.
but then again, lookin back more than a year ahead i've pretty much come to terms with it that if God put me in NJ it would've been for a hell of a good reason,
and that's more than enough for me to welcome His decision with open arms.
winning team champions for nationals this year was one of those reasons(:
swim/run/gym ftw.
